BioFuels Atlas is an interactive map for comparing biomass feedstocks and biofuels by location. This tool helps users select from and apply biomass data layers to a map, as well as query and download biofuels and feedstock data. The state zoom function summarizes state energy use and infrastructure for traditional and bioenergy power, fuels, and resources. The tool also calculates the biofuels potential for a given area. BioFuels Atlas was developed by the National Renewable Energy Laboratory with funding from the DOE Biomass Program.

TransAtlas is an interactive map that uses a Google Maps interface to display: Existing and planned alternative fueling stations Alternative fuel production facilities Light-duty vehicle density Roads and political boundaries Users can customize the map display and print and query the underlying data. TransAtlas is part of a suite of geographic analysis tools for renewable energy developed at the National Renewable Energy Laboratory.

This chart shows global ethanol production by country or region, from 2007 to 2017. Global production peaked in 2017 after a dip in 2011 and 2012. The United States is the world's largest producer of ethanol, having produced nearly 16 billion gallons in 2017 alone. Together, the U.S. and Brazil produce 85% of the world's ethanol. The vast majority of U.S. ethanol is produced from corn, while Brazil primarily uses sugarcane.
